            A certain thing that defines who I am is soccer.  I am very passionate about soccer.  I love to play, watch, and do anything that involves the sport.  One of my dreams is to go to England and watch my favorite club team, Liverpool F.C., play in a match.  I just want to feel the atmosphere in the stadium when they begin their chants or the roar when Liverpool scores a goal. 

            If it was up to me I would wear a soccer jersey every day and buy as many cleats as I could.  I feel proud to love the sport and I am always happy when playing or watching soccer.  Identity can even be seen within the sport of soccer.  For example, people could like different teams that could define them.  Also, players can express their identity by playing different positions on the field.  An example of this would be that defender would do anything to stop the other team from scoring a goal, while a forward would do anything to score for their team. 

            There are even more ways to identify a soccer player.  The number they choose on the back of their jerseys surprisingly says a lot about them.  For example, the number nine is usually a forward or goal-scorer, while the number seven is usually a midfielder on the outside that crosses the ball into the middle for the forwards to score.

            Soccer is something that expresses who I am.  It is something that I love to do.  It is part of my identity. I love the way the crowd cheers when there is a goal scored and I love being there when it happens.  I will never stop loving soccer.
